ATW Opening Night: How to Build Fucking Cool Companies In Amsterdam
AMS Tech Week: Opening Night
How to build fucking cool companies in Amsterdam
A night for the ones who still see beyond. For the ones who still get goosebumps at the magic of technology. Who are still amazed by the time we live in.
By highly personalised groceries arriving at your door, orchestrated by algorithms, ordered from a smartphone.
By being able to pay someone on the other side of the world with a single tap.
By the fact that you can now talk to computers and code in plain English.
Tonight we bring them all together to remember that we can still do more. That together, we can create technology that makes people live so differently it will one day feel ordinary.
And we want part of that technology to be built right here, by Amsterdam companies.
Join us, Picnic and Startup Amsterdam for a special night.
The night
We open with a look at what Amsterdam Tech Week is and the events lighting up the city this week. Then a fireside chat with some of the best founders building from Amsterdam, on how to build fucking cool companies here. After that, things get interactive, then we move into drinks, music, and the kind of conversations that start new things. Hosted at Picnic, one of the Amsterdam companies proving this can be built here, with the support of Startup Amsterdam.
